5. Discuss in details the territory and region formation in the context of peopling in India.
Answers
Answer:
The peopling of India refers to the migration of Homo sapiens into the Indian subcontinent. Anatomically modern humans settled India in multiple waves of early migrations, over tens of millennia.[1] The first migrants came with the Coastal Migration/ Southern Dispersal 65,000 years ago, whereafter complex migrations within south and southeast Asia took place. West Eurasian hunter-gatherers migrated to South Asia after the latest Ice Age, but before the onset of farming. Together with a minor number of ancient South Asian hunter-gatherers they formed the population of the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC).

With the decline of the IVC, and the migration of Indo-Europeans, the IVC-people contributed to the formation of both the Ancestral North Indians ("ANI"), who were closely related to west Eurasians, and the Ancestral South Indians ("ASI"), who were predominantly descended from ancient South Asian hunter-gatherers ("Ancient Ancestral South Indians" or "AASI") who were distantly related to the Andamanese. These two ancestral populations (ASI and ANI) mixed extensively between 1,900-4,200 years ago[2] and created the peoples inhabiting the Indian subcontinent today, while the migrations of the Munda people and the Tibeto-Burmese speaking people from East Asia also added new elements.
